The settlement distinguishes ordinary interest from consequences of breaching instalments.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved an instalment settlement between Narva linn, Hariduse tn 26 korteriühistu and XX for acknowledged management charges and other payments and terminated proceedings. The settlement includes reimbursement of 32.50 euros of the association’s state fee, equal monthly instalments and a separate final payment. The order gives no detailed objections to the charges. Interest of 0.02% per day on unpaid management charges and other payments applies from 1 November 2023. Breach of the schedule makes the whole obligation immediately payable, with interest of 0.02% per day on the entire obligation from 1 April 2023. These are different conditions; the court did not establish a breach. Other costs remain with each participant. A state-budget refund of 32.50 euros in payment-order fees was refused; this does not cancel the debtor’s agreed reimbursement of that portion. Subsequent performance is not established.

Outcome of this decision

Settlement approved and proceedings terminated. The separate interest conditions remain; the state-fee refund was refused.

How it started · editorial summary

Two persons acknowledged a common joint and several obligation. The court approved the agreement, but performance of the schedule with already elapsed deadlines is not confirmed.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved Narva linn, Rahu tn 28a korteriühistu’s agreement with two interested persons XX and terminated the case. The participants acknowledged a common obligation for building maintenance, other payments and court costs; the act does not set out detailed objections to charges. The two persons are jointly and severally liable: the common unpaid amount may be sought from either, but cannot be recovered in full twice. The schedule provides three equal payments with deadlines before the ruling. The document does not say whether they had been made by approval. Breach makes the obligation immediately enforceable and requires payment of earlier interest specified in the agreement and further interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid maintenance expenses and other payments. The court did not find that these conditions had occurred. Each party bears other costs; the association was awarded a 32,50 euro fee refund. The act states that the parties waived appeals. Approval does not confirm schedule performance or the current balance.

Outcome of this decision

Admit the application, approve the agreement on two persons’ joint and several obligation and three equal payments, and terminate the case. Breach provides for immediate performance, earlier interest and further interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid maintenance expenses and other payments. Leave other costs to participants; refund the association a 32,50 euro fee.

How it started · editorial summary

The instalment settlement provides a conditional interest concession.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved a settlement between Narva linn, Viru tn 19 korteriühistu and XX for instalment payment of acknowledged management-charge debt, interest and costs, and terminated proceedings. Equal monthly instalments and a separate final payment were agreed; current bills remain payable separately on time. The order gives no detailed objections to the calculation. Proper compliance with the schedule suspends interest on the principal from 22 September 2022. Breach removes the concession and interest resumes from that same date. The court did not establish subsequent breach or performance. Agreed costs of 132.50 euros comprise 32.50 euros in state fees and 100 euros in legal costs. Other costs remain with each participant; a separate state-fee refund of 32.50 euros to the association was ordered. Reduction of the appeal period to three days was refused as unavailable in this procedure.

Outcome of this decision

Instalments approved and proceedings terminated; suspension of interest depends on compliance. Appeal period not reduced.

The court approved monthly instalments for an acknowledged obligation while preserving the possibility of appeal.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved Narva linn, Rahu tn 14 korteriühistu’s agreement with XX to pay the acknowledged obligation in instalments and terminated the case. It did not grant the request to exclude appeals. After the agreement was submitted, the case was transferred from payment order proceedings to Viru Maakohus for approval. The acknowledged obligation includes building maintenance, other payments, interest and court costs; the act contains no separate examination of objections to charges. The schedule provides equal monthly payments and a separate last payment. Unpaid maintenance costs and other payments carry interest of 0,02% per day. Breach of the schedule makes the entire agreed obligation immediately payable; the court did not establish that a breach had actually occurred. Each party bears other costs; the request for a partial fee refund is decided separately after entry into force. The court considered waiver of appeal impermissible under the procedure applied. Performance of the schedule and the later balance are not confirmed.

Outcome of this decision

Approve monthly instalments with a separate final payment and terminate the case. Provide interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid maintenance costs and other payments, with immediate full payment on breach of schedule. Leave other costs to participants and decide the fee refund separately. Refuse to exclude appeals.

How it started · editorial summary

The association and two debtors agreed on instalments and payment of current invoices. The court approved the settlement and closed the case without establishing actual compliance with the schedule.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, A-A. Tiimanni tn 10 korteriühistu (now — Narva linn, Soldina tn 10 korteriühistu) sought payment from two individuals identified as XX. After their objections, the case was transferred from payment-order proceedings to Viru Maakohus. The participants submitted an agreement acknowledging a debt comprising principal, late-payment interest and costs, to be paid in instalments over six months. Current invoices from the February 2022 invoice onward remain payable in addition to instalments on the old debt. For delay, the agreement provides daily late-payment interest of 0.022% on the unpaid principal. The act does not provide for acceleration of the entire debt. The court found no conflict with law or good morals, approved the settlement and discontinued proceedings. Costs were dealt with as agreed, with no further reimbursable costs. The court explained the availability of enforcement if the agreement is breached and the bar on a new action between the same parties about the same subject. Approval of the schedule does not establish that payment has been made.

Outcome of this decision

The instalment settlement was approved and proceedings discontinued. Current invoices remain separately payable and agreed late-payment interest applies to delay. This act does not establish actual compliance with the schedule.

The court approved a schedule already under way: the association reported four timely payments, but the ruling does not confirm full performance.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The apartment association Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 63a and XX entered an instalment agreement for arrears. The court approved it after the association reported initial voluntary payments and terminated the case. The payment proposal in payment order proceedings could not be served, but the parties submitted a signed agreement. The association reported that the first four payments were made on time: performance had begun before court approval. The acknowledged obligation includes building maintenance, other payments and litigation costs. It provides equal monthly instalments and a separate final payment, plus interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid management expenses and other payments. Breach of the schedule makes the entire agreed obligation immediately payable. The court considered the agreement permissible and enforceable. Each bears its other costs; a 32,50-euro court fee refund from the state budget was ordered for the association. A request to exclude appeals was rejected as impermissible in the procedure used. Full performance of the schedule and the current balance were not established.

Outcome of this decision

Approve monthly instalments with a separate final payment. The agreement provides for interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid management expenses and other payments and immediate payment of the full obligation on breach. Terminate the case and leave other costs with the participants; refund the association 32,50 euros in court fees. Refuse exclusion of appeals.

After objections to the payment order, the association and debtor settled the dispute by agreement.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Viru Maakohus approved the settlement between Narva linn, Vaksali tn 13 korteriühistu and debtor XX and terminated proceedings. The parties agreed payment of building maintenance arrears, a 30,03-euro court fee and 89,70 euros for legal assistance. These are agreed terms, rather than an independent judicial determination of every basis for the debt. The debtor undertook to repay the debt in monthly instalments. The agreement also provides for late-payment interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid building maintenance arrears from the agreed date. Breach of the schedule makes the entire remaining obligation immediately enforceable. The case began with an application for a payment order. After the debtor objected, papers were referred to Viru Maakohus, where the participants submitted the agreement. Each bears its other litigation costs. The court ordered a 30,03-euro court fee refund to the association from the state budget. The ruling contains the parties’ agreed waiver of appeal; actual performance of the agreement is not confirmed.

Outcome of this decision

Approve monthly instalments for the debt, 30,03 euros in court fees and 89,70 euros for legal assistance. Late-payment interest of 0,02% per day is provided on unpaid building maintenance arrears from the agreed date; breach makes the full remaining obligation immediately enforceable. Terminate proceedings. Each party bears its other costs. Refund the association 30,03 euros in court fees.

The agreement provides for payment of building maintenance and other arrears, a 22,50-euro court fee and 89,70 euros for legal assistance. The parties agreed monthly instalments. The ruling contains no confirmation of performance. The association may demand late-payment interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid expenses and other payments from the agreed date. Breach of the schedule makes the entire remaining obligation immediately enforceable. Each participant bears expenses not named in the agreement. The court left the fee refund for a separate ruling after finality. It rejected the parties’ request to exclude appeals, finding such an agreement impermissible in the procedure used. Approval of the settlement therefore did not mean waiver of the right to appeal the ruling.

Outcome of this decision

Approve monthly instalments for the debt, 22,50 euros in court fees and 89,70 euros for legal assistance, with late-payment interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid expenses and other payments from the agreed date.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved the instalment agreement between the apartment association Narva linn, A-A. Tiimanni tn 2 and debtor XX and terminated the case. The association initially sought principal and continuing late-payment interest; before determination, the participants agreed a smaller debt and payment schedule. The ruling does not set out separate debtor objections to the initial charges. Under the agreement, XX acknowledged unpaid management expenses and other payments. The agreed obligation also includes 25 euros, half the court fee, 300 euros for legal assistance and 3 euros to obtain evidence. The debtor acknowledged that payment was due, and the association gave additional time for voluntary performance. The schedule provides for monthly payments. The agreement entitles the association to demand late-payment interest of 0,02% per day on unpaid management expenses and other payments from the agreed date. Breach makes the entire agreed obligation immediately payable. The court examined the documents, checked the agreement’s permissibility and enforceability, approved it on 9 July 2021 and terminated proceedings. Each participant bears expenses not included in the agreement. The court ordered the association refunded 25 euros, half the court fee, from the state budget. The participants waived appeal against the ruling; it does not confirm subsequent payment under the schedule.

Outcome of this decision

Approve monthly instalments for the debt and costs: 25 euros, half the court fee, 300 euros for legal assistance and 3 euros to obtain evidence.

How it started · editorial summary

After payment order recovery began, the association and debtor XX agreed the balance and six monthly payments. The association confirmed an earlier partial payment.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved the agreement between the apartment association Narva linn, Võidu prospekt 13 and debtor XX for scheduled repayment of the remaining debt and terminated the case. The association initially sought recovery through expedited payment order proceedings. Pärnu Maakohus then ended that procedure and referred the case to Viru Maakohus to approve the agreement. The debtor acknowledged principal, accrued late-payment interest and 65 euros in costs. The association confirmed an earlier partial payment and agreed the balance with the debtor. The ruling does not establish subsequent compliance with the schedule. The balance is payable in six monthly instalments. Current association bills must also continue to be paid. Delay entails late-payment interest of 0,022% per day on the unpaid amount. The court examined the agreement, found it permissible and enforceable, approved its terms on 21 May 2021 and terminated proceedings. The 65 euros in costs included in the agreement form part of the admitted obligation; each participant bears its other costs with no separate mutual reimbursement. The ruling does not set out independent objections to the original charges.

Outcome of this decision

Approve the agreement taking account of the partial payment confirmed by the association. The outstanding debt, late-payment interest and agreed 65 euros in costs are payable in six monthly instalments. Retain current bills and late-payment interest of 0,022% per day on unpaid amounts upon delay. Terminate proceedings; leave other costs with the participants.
